It has been reported that Prince Harry refused to attend a dinner with his father, King Charles III and brother Prince William after his wife was banned from joining the family at Balmoral on the day the Queen passed.
As Queen Elizabeth II fell seriously ill on Thursday, September 8, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed the couple were on their way to Royal Deeside, but had to change their plans as Megan was not welcome.
The Scottish Daily Express reports that King Charles called his youngest son to say it was “not appropriate” for Megan to be there, resulting in Harry flying north alone without his wife. The fury saw Harry miss an RAF flight to Scotland with brother William and uncles Andrew and Edward. He eventually landed at Aberdeen without Meghan at 6.35pm – five minutes after the Queen’s death was announced to the world.
Although most of the other royals were also too late to say goodbye to the sovereign – only Anne and Charles made it to Balmoral in time – the row appears to have left Harry understandably fuming.
As a result, when he was driven into Balmoral 90 minutes later he declined dinner at Birkhall, Charles’s home on the estate, with the new king, Queen Consort Camilla and William, reports the Sun.
Insiders say the prince instead mourned with Edward and Andrew, seven miles away at Balmoral Castle. Edward’s wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, was also there, as she WAS allowed to join the other royals on the RAF plane.
A source said: “Harry was so busy trying to get Meghan to Balmoral and rowing with his family that he missed the flight. Charles has an open invitation for Harry to dine with him whenever he is in the country.
